How they're being used:
Currently, I am creating patterns on the ER-1. However, I have assigned each voice a MIDI note (there are 10 voices, which include the 2 audio-in channels since you can assign MIDI notes to them as well) instead of using its built-in voices. This MIDI data is sent to the RX-11 drum machine. Why the RX-11? Because there are individual outs for each sample! I've assigned each sample to its respective MIDI note on the ER-1. Thus, the RX-11 drum samples trigger the analog drum machines.

Now, I'm throwing the Roland SH-201 into the mix. The 2 main reasons I bought the synth are the 1) obvious old school analog synth style knob tweaking and 2) the arpeggiator. Controlling this would obviously require more than what the ER-1 could provide, especially if I decide to do some step sequencing.

I'm sure most people would just ask, "just use a laptop, weirdo!" but I'd like to avoid it so I can focus on knob tweaking on the synth, drum machines, and various effects pedals I'd be using. Also - no MPCs. That's just too much for this.

The clear plastic over the LCD is broken, but the machine works perfectly otherwise. It has great sequencing built-in, and is very tight (480ppqn IIRC). Patterns, songs, and even a variation scheme: 8 parts of a song (defined as "intro" "chorus1" etc, so you can just hit 1 button to change to a new group of sequences. Great little box, but I just don't find myself using it lately.

hmm... I wonder why I didn't look into the QY-70 more. I certainly don't need something as huge as the QY-700. Perhaps I saw the design and just thought it was an SU-10 or SU-200 type thing (not that those are out of the question, either).
